The products listed on this page are being phased out. Replacement products are already available:We recommend replacing Taq full DNA polymerase with the newer TaKaRa Taq DNA polymerase, which is a recombinant version of the thermostable, full-length Taq. Takara Taqpolymerase is available as individual components, in a hot-start formulation, or as a complete kit.

Taqfull DNA polymerase is an ultra-pure, highly efficient, full-length, recombinant version of the Thermus aquaticus (Taq) YT1 DNA Polymerase (94 kD) (Engelke et al. 1990). This enzyme possesses two important catalytic activities: a 5"→3" polymerase activity, and a double-strand-specific 5"→3" exonuclease activity. Like other full-length Taq DNA Polymerases, this enzyme lacks 3"→5" exonuclease (proofreading) activity. This enzyme is suitable for any general PCR amplification procedure. It amplifies even rare targets from bacterial and plasmid DNA, cDNA, and complex genomic DNA.

Taqfull DNA polymerase is available in several formats:

• Individual components of polymerase enzyme mix (Cat. # 639233 and 639234)—separate tubes ofTaqfull DNA polymerase and 10X buffer
• Taq full DNA polymerase in a complete kit (Cat. # 639235)—includes Taq, 10X buffer, MgCl₂, dNTPs, control genomic DNA template, and primer mix
• A hot-start polymerase formulation in a complete kit (Cat. # 639231)—includes hot-start Taq, 10X buffer, MgCl₂, dNTPs, control genomic DNA template, and primer mix
